Crossword Genius

Dried fruit for Aunt Sal, possibly (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sultana

'dried fruit' is the definition.
(sultana is a kind of dried fruit)

'aunt sal possibly' is the wordplay.
'possibly' is an anagram indicator.
'aunt'+'sal'='auntsal'
'auntsal' anagrammed gives 'SULTANA'.

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for sultana that I've seen before include "Pale seedless raisin" , "Sovereign's mother perhaps" , "bit of a fruit cake" , "Dry seedless grape" , "fruity little thing" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
